“The regime’s monstrosity, which spares not even children, speaks of the evil tactics of the counterinsurgency program of Aquino, Oplan Bayanihan.”
“President Aquino presented himself as a leader, but has done nothing, but follow the whims of an imperialist power.”
When Scene of the Crime Operatives (SOCO) arrived at the alleged mass grave site, about six civilians were already digging and skeletal remains and clothes were on the surface.
“People are being killed, tortured, arrested and detained. To the regime, the Filipino people’s resistance is a stumbling block to its brand of peace and development, and they must be punished.”
“Activities undertaken by security forces as well as armed groups within and around IP communities in Mindanao have resulted in legitimate expressions of fear and insecurity, in displacement, and is endangering the security and safety of non-combatants, including women, children and older persons.”
“The Aquino government does not recognize the rights of the LGBT, let alone respect them.”
Human rights is nowhere to be found from among the Aquino administration's priorities. And this has perpetuated, nay worsened, impunity as the Aquino administration has itself committed human rights violations in the course of its own counter-insurgency program Oplan Bayanihan and in pushing the neoliberal agenda in the service of corporate interests.
“All attempts at seeking justice are frustrated in every way. Aquino has deepened the roots of impunity.”
She has fought for land and her life, and has survived.
“The continuing attacks against Lumad communities and schools, including the recent evacuation in Compostela, show both the hypocrisy and desperation of the US-Aquino regime, especially with Oplan Bayanihan’s failure.”
According to human rights group Karapatan, 85 percent of political prisoners were slapped with criminal charges, a clear violation of the Hernandez political doctrine, a Supreme Court jurisprudence that prohibits the criminalization of political dissent.
“Aquino has never acted on our plight, worse, he himself mandates all of these attacks against the Lumad and our community. Our people, our community, our schools are the military’s target.”
“Six years into his term, Aquino has only galvanized the fact that those who expose state excesses and injustices are bound to suffer behind bars or face possible death sentence in the hands of his fascist forces.”
“I have already suffered 11 years of unjust and cruel detention as a political prisoner.”
“By perpetrating these forms of violence and violations of our civil liberties, Mr. Aquino is actually showcasing to the foreign media and the world the complete opposite of what he said at the summit.”
“Will Aquino stand proud before the community of nations giving the red carpet to the high and mighty yet red-tag those who are not?”
“I was accompanying 36 students of the Misfi academy when this happened. They also brought the students with me. We were interrogated.”
“Our family is hurting that we cannot be with Nur-Aiza. We long to be with her again.”
“This shows how desperate Aquino is to silence our calls to junk Apec, all for his masters.”
“You think you can hide the people’s protest? But as we leave Liwasang Bonifacio, we move closer to the venue of the summit.”
